Question

Py+7=6y+q solve for y

Answer 1

We know that we are solving for y.

This is a step by step procedure to get the value of y.

First: Move all terms to the left side and set equal to zero.

Second: Then set each factor equal to zero.

 

The application is:

Given: py+7=6y+q 

-6y -7 -6y -7 = 0

(p-6)y = q-7

divide both sides by p-6
y=(q-7)/(p-6)

Answer is y = (q – 7) / (p – 6)
